Continuing its efforts to grow renewable energy in North Carolina, Duke Energy Sustainable Solutions, a nonregulated commercial brand of Duke Energy, recently began commercial operation of two major solar facilities in the state.

Duke Energy expects to restore power today to all 10,000 customers, mostly in coastal areas, who lost electricity due to last night’s winter storm in North Carolina and South Carolina.

Duke Energy and its power outage response crews are ready for this weekend’s winter storm in the Carolinas – the third storm to hit the region this month.

Duke Energy today said it is on track to restore nearly all customers who lost power during the weekend winter storm in the Carolinas by late tonight, though many will be restored sooner.

Duke Energy declaró hoy que habrá restaurado tarde esta noche el suministro eléctrico de casi todos los clientes que se quedaron sin electricidad durante la tormenta de invierno del fin de semana en Carolina del Norte y Carolina del Sur; el suministro eléctrico de muchos clientes habrá sido restaurado antes

A winter storm continues to move through the Carolinas today, cutting power to 67,000 Duke Energy customers so far, with more power outages likely to occur later today and into early Monday.

Carolina del Norte y Carolina del Sur se encuentran bajo una tormenta invernal que hasta ahora ha causado el corte del suministro eléctrico de 67,000 clientes de Duke Energy, y es probable que se produzcan más cortes más tarde hoy y temprano en la mañana del lunes.

Duke Energy today warned customers in North Carolina and South Carolina of scammers who might call them – impersonating Duke Energy representatives and threatening to cut off customers’ power before or during this weekend’s winter storm unless customers make a payment for late bills or other charges.

Duke Energy advirtió hoy a sus clientes en Carolina del Norte y en Carolina del Sur sobre estafadores que posiblemente les llamen – haciéndose pasar por representantes de Duke Energy y amenazando con cortar el suministro de electricidad antes o durante la tormenta invernal a menos que el cliente haga un pago por facturas atrasadas u otros cargos.

Duke Energy today said the hazardous wintry precipitation from this weekend’s approaching winter storm could cause an estimated 750,000 customers to lose power in North Carolina and South Carolina, based on the storm’s current forecasted track, and power outages in some of the hardest-hit areas could last several days.
